First Manchester United player to react to Erik ten Hag’s decision to stay as manager next season is Alejandro Garnacho. To end concerns about his future, INEOS have not fired the Dutchman, who is now negotiating a new contract at Old Trafford.

Two years after the 2023/24 season finished with a tҺrilling FA Cup win against Manchester City, Ten Hag’s future has remained uncertain.

A terrible second season was saved by United’s Wembley win over the Premier League champions.

Ten Hag may have saved his career by becoming the first Red Devils manager to win major titles in consecutive seasons since Sir Alex Ferguson.

His future was the focus before the FA Cup final. Some even claimed that many players believed they would return to pre-season with a new employer.

United have stuck rather than twisted, and Garnacho is delighted with Sir Dave Brailsford’s season review.

Observant fans noted the 19-year-old winger liked a social media message supporting Ten Hag’s stay.

United supporter @bethTmufc tweeted on X, with Ten Hag holding the FA Cup: “MY MANAGER! Can’t express my joy. Thank you INEOS.”

Garnacho and the 54-year-old are close. He earned his senior debut under Ralf Rangnick, but Ten Hag has made him a first-team regular for two seasons.

Argentine starlet played 50 matches last season, second only to goalkeeper Andre Onana, who played 51.

He missed two games and started 38 straight on the right and left wings to finish the season.

Garnacho has 86 appearances for United, scoring 15 goals and nine assists, and will look to improve under Ten Hag after the offseason.

His brother Roberto, who is regularly vocal on social media, expressed his shоck that Ten Hag had escaped the sack.

Writing on X: “Ten Hag I adore you. We’re writing history, boss.”

Kobbie Mainoo is another example of the former Ajax manager turning academy players into professional stars. His team will depend on both teens next season.
